Twitter is definitely here, real and important, especially for those who deal in content and information every day - “part of the plumbing” as the NYT’s David Carr once correctly observed.
But, sometimes, actual human events meet 140-character micro-blogging service references in the press, call them plumbing in print, still bring a smile and shake-of-the-head chuckle.
Like this one from today’s NY Daily News, related to New York Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez, who had a difficult year:
“Sanchez’s inability to handle mounting criticism prompted him to unfollow every Jets beat writer on Twitter earlier this season.”
